  1. Well I wouldn't put it that way 100%. I had 2 Chevs and will never have another. We had 3 1/2 tons at work that rattled and shook and uncomfortable for me. I don't like their seats, I like to be more upright. I don't mind the older Fords, they were reliable and took quite a beating. The newer ones are okay except I don't like the lowness of the steering even with it adjusted all the way up. They ride nice and quiet and aren't bad on gas. The 3 2011 Dodges have the 4.7 and are gas pigs. Other than that, they work every day without any problems other than regular maintenance. 3/4 and 1 tons like to eat front suspension parts but the transmission (stick) and Cummins just can't be beat. I've never owned a Toyo, a little pricey. As for Nissans, after my sons debacle with his, I sure won't go looking for one.
  2. Seriously, like missing a yo in you and a w in wrong. I'd push a yugo before I'd ride in one of those. Like riding a block of ice bare butt, horrible seating for one and about as useful as a Ranchero.
  3. You know why they call them Colorado/Canyon? Both should be pushed over the cliff. Beast Truck....
  4. Have to do a little flight like that some day, very nice pics.
  5. Hahahaha, have to take the socks off more often I guess
  6. Some are real nit pickers and some are real nitwits. A warning would have sufficed at the very most.
  7. [/url]">http:// After many hours of going round in circles up and down due to nasty wave action, GB finally gave a a reward. A few smaller ones were caught later in the week.
  8. Every now and then, something bad needs to happen. That's all I can say.
  9. Wonder if it works with toilet paper..
  10. Only thing I can add is do your homework, check the prices at all the different locations and see if they price match before you go. I saved about $250 on a new Lowrance Elite 5 HDI with the gold chip included. Out the door, tax in for $610.
  11. I was the lucky one, nobody else had taken it.
  12. Just up the road from you bro, Total battery, everything from 1.3 amps on up.
  13. Oh boy, what a subject for me to find. Last week they had a documentary on of all things but Gatorade and granola bars and energy bars, etc. The biggest load of bull granola that you can imagine. It's nothing more than marketing by use of sports to encourage it. End result, the human body has quite the capable system to regulate it's own electrolytes. One particular athelete that rode a statioary bike in the uphill mode for over 2 hours at a grueling pace was just, barely starting to show depeltion signs. As for the energy and granola bars, another over hyped sports media, shove it down your throat baloney. End solution was to maintain your body fluid levels by drinking pain old water and not even the stuff that comes in plastic bottles, just out of the tap. Don't like the chlorine, run it through a Brita filter.
  14. I'm currently getting 17-18mpg in the city and 19-21mpg on the highway when not towing. When I am towing, my highway mileage drops down to about 16-18mpg. I would call that lousy mileage. I have a RAM with a Cummins and do far better than that, 21 city and up to 25 highway. Even towing the travel trailer I can get 18-19mpg.
  15. Ya, it's one of those things, left, right, up and down. I used to "fly over my shoulder" when it was coming towards me. And when you're up side down, push, don't pull especially when you're only 10 feet from burning worms. Spectacular crash to say the least.
  16. Ah, me thinks you got it backwards.
  17. Nice flight..'cept for that little spruce shaving at the 2:20 mark..
  18. Sorry if you can't help yourself, here's another one: http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/marinesafety/debs-obs-paperwork-paperwork_boat_licence-3211.htm
  19. "Registering an old boat" got about a million hits with all the answers.
  20. Just remember to add for few hours to avoid the highway jam ups.
  21. Ah, okay, hadn't seen any like that at Ideal hobby.
  22. You guys are giving me the itch to get back into flying. Where did you buy that Terry?
  23. That's what I would be inclined to believe. I run 12 ga stranded and tinned marine wire just to be on the safe side.
  24. I imagine it's not for the faint of heart to fly those. I used to fly model airplanes, had a couple of crashes, rule of thumb, always have at least 2-3 x the recovery height when things go wrong. Now with a chopper that's probably a bit different.
  25. Almost croaked when you said 15mpg, but that has to be US gallons. I can get 18+ pulling a 20 foot travel trailer, mind you I don't drive like a madman.
